Welcome to my Blog!
My name is Cally and I am a self taught artist from the West Midlands creating whimsical, unique, mixed media pieces of artwork and creations. I love with my musician boyfriend Jamie and 4 wonderful cats in a lovely creative home. Watch this space for more updates!

Yesterday I was working on some new products to put on Etsy, as well as for my craft fair next Saturday, at the Light House in Wolverhampton. Firstly I have made some of my 3D paper flowers into magnets by painting them up in pretty colours and sticking some adhesive magnet to the back. I have signed all of them for an affordable unique piece of artwork for your fridge!

I have also textured some 10cm by 10cm canvases for Mother’s day and for Cat lovers! I have added my 3D paper flowers to the Mothers day canvases I have made, with the words ‘mom, I love you’ on them.

I hope you like my new designs! They will be in my Etsy shop very, very soon! If you want to purchase before hand, just get in contact with me through Facebook 🙂

This week I decided to pick one of the first paintings I did that I actually felt proud of. It is currently not for sale, but still hanging up on my living room wall. I think this is one I will keep because it represents a change in my style that I am glad I found.

It is 12×12 inches and painted on thin canvas. The canvas is textured as usual in ripped up paper, card and flower stencil. I have used some Shakespearean and musical note paper. Since creating this painting I have used my patchwork girls in a couple of other paintings, and hope to use her many more times in the future.

This is the finished piece of ‘In Bloom’ my newest mixed media canvas painting. I have varnished it with a glossy, protective finish and painted the canvas edges black to compliment the outlines of the butterfly and the flowers. This piece is inspired by Spring, and is certainly cheering me up in this awful cold weather! I just cannot wait for Spring to come!

I have just listed this pair of original textured paintings on card on Etsy. I have textured 2 6×4 inch pieces of card with musical note paper and painted them in emulsion and acrylic paints. The vases are made with patterned paper. They can be left as they are, or put in a mount and framed for the wall. If you want to view these on Etsy click here.

This is my newest painting Alien and Fairy friends meeting in the garden. I have textured a 12×12 inch canvas board with ripped paper, card and flower stencils and painted in acrylic, emulsion and watercolour paints. I based this painting on a doodle illustration I did a while back…
